last,
we have presents:
in oliver's case, we have ONE main present.
so we thought he should work for it on a scavenger hunt.

HERE is what is happening in this series of pics:
1. big box containing one small paper with the first clue.
2. unwrap.
3. reading first clue directing him to front door.
4. front door clue directing him downstairs
5. downstairs dangling clue.
6. directing him to johnny cash in dad's office.
7. cash clue directing him to dishwasher.
8. dishwasher clue directing him to attic.
9. attic directing him to keys.
10. then car.
11. then gift.
12. bringing in the loot.
13. unwrapping glee.
14. dad hogging the wii for himself. ;)

all of it took about 8 minutes.

and... this is how it's done in our home
on the morning of your birthday
six times a year.
